As an experiential learning tool, Behind Closed Doors (BCD) is unmatched in the RA training toolkit. Unforunately, the experience is often lost when we fail to quickly provide quality feedback to RAs, which tends to happen in the midst of competing August obligations. UTA recently made modifications to BCD evaluation rubrics which provided quantifiable feedback to RAs within 24-hours of completing their BCD scenarios. This rubric also provided an assessment of all training components relevant to situations presented in BCD scenarios. Participants will engage in the hands-on development of BCD rubrics that can be translated to their own campuses.
